Structural studies of proteins by paramagnetic solid-state NMR spectroscopy.

ABSTRACT: Paramagnetism-based nuclear pseudocontact shifts and spin relaxation enhancements contain a wealth of information in solid-state NMR spectra about electron-nucleus distances on the ?20 Å length scale, far beyond that normally probed through measurements of nuclear dipolar couplings. Such data are especially vital in the context of structural studies of proteins and other biological molecules that suffer from a sparse number of experimentally-accessible atomic distances constraining their three-dimensional fold or intermolecular interactions. This perspective provides a brief overview of the recent developments and applications of paramagnetic magic-angle spinning NMR to biological systems, with primary focus on the investigations of metalloproteins and natively diamagnetic proteins modified with covalent paramagnetic tags.

Solid-state ¹?O NMR spectroscopy of paramagnetic coordination compounds.

Project description:High-quality solid-state (17)O (I=5/2) NMR spectra can be successfully obtained for paramagnetic coordination compounds in which oxygen atoms are directly bonded to the paramagnetic metal centers. For complexes containing V(III) (S=1), Cu(II) (S=1/2), and Mn(III) (S=2) metal centers, the (17)O isotropic paramagnetic shifts were found to span a range of more than 10,000?ppm. In several cases, high-resolution (17)O NMR spectra were recorded under very fast magic-angle spinning (MAS) conditions at 21.1?T. Quantum-chemical computations using density functional theory (DFT) qualitatively reproduced the experimental (17)O hyperfine shift tensors.

Paramagnetic shifts in solid-state NMR of proteins to elicit structural information.

Project description:The recent observation of pseudocontact shifts (pcs) in (13)C high-resolution solid-state NMR of paramagnetic proteins opens the way to their application as structural restraints. Here, by investigating a microcrystalline sample of cobalt(II)-substituted matrix metalloproteinase 12 [CoMMP-12 (159 AA, 17.5 kDa)], it is shown that a combined strategy of protein labeling and dilution of the paramagnetic species (i.e., (13)C-,(15)N-labeled CoMMP-12 diluted in unlabeled ZnMMP-12, and (13)C-,(15)N-labeled ZnMMP-12 diluted in unlabeled CoMMP-12) allows one to easily separate the pcs contributions originated from the protein internal metal (intramolecular pcs) from those due to the metals in neighboring proteins in the crystal lattice (intermolecular pcs) and that both can be used for structural purposes. It is demonstrated that intramolecular pcs are significant structural restraints helpful in increasing both precision and accuracy of the structure, which is a need in solid-state structural biology nowadays. Furthermore, intermolecular pcs provide unique information on positions and orientations of neighboring protein molecules in the solid phase.

Protein structural studies by paramagnetic solid-state NMR spectroscopy aided by a compact cyclen-type Cu(II) binding tag.

Project description:Paramagnetic relaxation enhancements (PREs) are a rich source of structural information in protein solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Here we demonstrate that PRE measurements in natively diamagnetic proteins are facilitated by a thiol-reactive compact, cyclen-based, high-affinity Cu(2+) binding tag, 1-[2-(pyridin-2-yldisulfanyl)ethyl]-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (TETAC), that overcomes the key shortcomings associated with the use of larger, more flexible metal-binding tags. Using the TETAC-Cu(2+) K28C mutant of B1 immunoglobulin-binding domain of protein G as a model, we find that amino acid residues located within ~10 ? of the Cu(2+) center experience considerable transverse PREs leading to severely attenuated resonances in 2D (15)N-(13)C correlation spectra. For more distant residues, electron-nucleus distances are accessible via quantitative measurements of longitudinal PREs, and we demonstrate such measurements for (15)N-Cu(2+) distances up to ~20 ?.

Structural Studies of Amyloid Fibrils by Paramagnetic Solid-State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy.

Project description:Application of paramagnetic solid-state NMR to amyloids is demonstrated, using Y145Stop human prion protein modified with nitroxide spin-label or EDTA-Cu2+ tags as a model. By using sample preparation protocols based on seeding with preformed fibrils, we show that paramagnetic protein analogs can be induced into adopting the wild-type amyloid structure. Measurements of residue-specific intramolecular and intermolecular paramagnetic relaxation enhancements enable determination of protein fold within the fibril core and protofilament assembly. These methods are expected to be widely applicable to other amyloids and protein assemblies.

Protein fold determined by paramagnetic magic-angle spinning solid-state NMR spectroscopy.

Project description:Biomacromolecules that are challenging for the usual structural techniques can be studied with atomic resolution by solid-state NMR spectroscopy. However, the paucity of distance restraints >5 Å, traditionally derived from measurements of magnetic dipole-dipole couplings between protein nuclei, is a major bottleneck that hampers such structure elucidation efforts. Here, we describe a general approach that enables the rapid determination of global protein fold in the solid phase via measurements of nuclear paramagnetic relaxation enhancements (PREs) in several analogues of the protein of interest containing covalently attached paramagnetic tags, without the use of conventional internuclear distance restraints. The method is demonstrated using six cysteine-EDTA-Cu(2+) mutants of the 56-residue B1 immunoglobulin-binding domain of protein G, for which ~230 longitudinal backbone (15)N PREs corresponding to distances of ~10-20 Å were obtained. The mean protein fold determined in this manner agrees with the X-ray structure with a backbone atom root-mean-square deviation of 1.8 Å.

Rapid Quantitative Measurements of Paramagnetic Relaxation Enhancements in Cu(II)-Tagged Proteins by Proton-Detected Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy.

Project description:We demonstrate rapid quantitative measurements of site-resolved paramagnetic relaxation enhancements (PREs), which are a source of valuable structural restraints corresponding to electron-nucleus distances in the ?10-20 Å regime, in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of proteins containing covalent Cu2+-binding tags. Specifically, using protein GB1 K28C-EDTA-Cu2+ mutant as a model, we show the determination of backbone amide 15N longitudinal and 1H transverse PREs within a few hours of experiment time based on proton-detected 2D or 3D correlation spectra recorded with magic-angle spinning frequencies ? ? 60 kHz for samples containing ?10-50 nanomoles of 2H,13C,15N-labeled protein back-exchanged in H2O. Additionally, we show that the electron relaxation time for the Cu2+ center, needed to convert PREs into distances, can be estimated directly from the experimental data. Altogether, these results are important for establishing solid-state NMR based on paramagnetic-tagging as a routine tool for structure determination of natively diamagnetic proteins.

Solid-state NMR spectroscopy.

Project description:Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is an atomic-level method used to determine the chemical structure, three-dimensional structure, and dynamics of solids and semi-solids. This Primer summarizes the basic principles of NMR as applied to the wide range of solid systems. The fundamental nuclear spin interactions and the effects of magnetic fields and radiofrequency pulses on nuclear spins are the same as in liquid-state NMR. However, because of the anisotropy of the interactions in the solid state, the majority of high-resolution solid-state NMR spectra is measured under magic-angle spinning (MAS), which has profound effects on the types of radiofrequency pulse sequences required to extract structural and dynamical information. We describe the most common MAS NMR experiments and data analysis approaches for investigating biological macromolecules, organic materials, and inorganic solids. Continuing development of sensitivity-enhancement approaches, including 1H-detected fast MAS experiments, dynamic nuclear polarization, and experiments tailored to ultrahigh magnetic fields, is described. We highlight recent applications of solid-state NMR to biological and materials chemistry. The Primer ends with a discussion of current limitations of NMR to study solids, and points to future avenues of development to further enhance the capabilities of this sophisticated spectroscopy for new applications.

GFT projection NMR spectroscopy for proteins in the solid state.

Project description:Recording of four-dimensional (4D) spectra for proteins in the solid state has opened new avenues to obtain virtually complete resonance assignments and three-dimensional (3D) structures of proteins. As in solution state NMR, the sampling of three indirect dimensions leads per se to long minimal measurement time. Furthermore, artifact suppression in solid state NMR relies primarily on radio-frequency pulse phase cycling. For an n-step phase cycle, the minimal measurement times of both 3D and 4D spectra are increased n times. To tackle the associated 'sampling problem' and to avoid sampling limited data acquisition, solid state G-Matrix Fourier Transform (SS GFT) projection NMR is introduced to rapidly acquire 3D and 4D spectral information. Specifically, (4,3)D (HA)CANCOCX and (3,2)D (HACA)NCOCX were implemented and recorded for the 6 kDa protein GB1 within about 10% of the time required for acquiring the conventional congeners with the same maximal evolution times and spectral widths in the indirect dimensions. Spectral analysis was complemented by comparative analysis of expected spectral congestion in conventional and GFT NMR experiments, demonstrating that high spectral resolution of the GFT NMR experiments enables one to efficiently obtain nearly complete resonance assignments even for large proteins.

Site-Specific Studies of Nucleosome Interactions by Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy.

Project description:Chromatin function depends on a dense network of interactions between nucleosomes and a wide range of proteins. A detailed description of these protein-nucleosome interactions is required to reach a full molecular understanding of chromatin function in both genetics and epigenetics. Herein, we show that the structure, dynamics, and interactions of nucleosomes can be interrogated in a residue-specific manner by using state-of-the-art solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Using sedimented nucleosomes, high-resolution spectra were obtained for both flexible histone tails and the non-mobile histone core. Through co-sedimentation of a nucleosome-binding peptide, we demonstrate that protein-binding sites on the nucleosome surface can be determined. We believe that this approach holds great promise as it is generally applicable, extendable to include the structure and dynamics of the bound proteins, and scalable to interactions of proteins with higher-order chromatin structures, including isolated and cellular chromatin.

Emerging Contributions of Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy to Chromatin Structural Biology

Project description:The eukaryotic genome is packaged into chromatin, a polymer of DNA and histone proteins that regulates gene expression and the spatial organization of nuclear content. The repetitive character of chromatin is diversified into rich layers of complexity that encompass DNA sequence, histone variants and post-translational modifications. Subtle molecular changes in these variables can often lead to global chromatin rearrangements that dictate entire gene programs with far reaching implications for development and disease. Decades of structural biology advances have revealed the complex relationship between chromatin structure, dynamics, interactions, and gene expression. Here, we focus on the emerging contributions of magic-angle spinning solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MAS NMR), a relative newcomer on the chromatin structural biology stage. Unique among structural biology techniques, MAS NMR is ideally suited to provide atomic level information regarding both the rigid and dynamic components of this complex and heterogenous biological polymer. In this review, we highlight the advantages MAS NMR can offer to chromatin structural biologists, discuss sample preparation strategies for structural analysis, summarize recent MAS NMR studies of chromatin structure and dynamics, and close by discussing how MAS NMR can be combined with state-of-the-art chemical biology tools to reconstitute and dissect complex chromatin environments.
